Fans can’t help but speculate about the dating affair of each and every celebrity, and the latest curiosity surrounds two of the fan-favorite former Disney stars, Sabrina Carpenter and Jenna Ortega, thanks to their undeniable chemistry both on-screen and off.
The rumors started to make rounds after the two featured in a new music video for Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Taste.’ Since its release, the question on everyone’s mind is: Are Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter dating, or are they just really good friends?
The Dating Buzz: What’s Really Going On Between Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter?
The rumor mill went wild after Sabrina Carpenter released her latest music video for ‘Taste’ on August 23, as a part of her sixth studio album “Short n’ Sweet.” The video features campy, horror vibes, with Sabrina and Jenna Ortega hilariously trying to kill each other in a lot of absurd, gruesome ways. But then out of nowhere, the two share a kiss, and social media can’t stop talking about it since. As those clips went viral, many wondered if something was going on between the two that was more than friendship.
The fire caught further fuel after Ortega and Carpenter shared super sweet tributes and behind-the-scenes pictures on Instagram. Sabrina went all out, calling Jenna an inspiration and “a true dream come true.” Ortega, meanwhile, was not going to get outdone, so she posted about how excited she was about a collab and how amazing the entire experience felt. She added, “I’d kill for you whenever…” and called Sabrina a “light” in her life. Fans subsequently began to speculate about the possibility of them two dating.
It goes without saying the chemistry between Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter is pretty special and they have been very good friends since their Disney days, but there’s absolutely zero evidence to suggest the two are romantically involved in any way, shape, or form. To be fair, though, both stars tend to be private when it comes to their love life. Jenna has previously stated how she prefers to keep her dating endeavors to herself, focusing instead on her career while keeping things low-key. Sabrina, too, rarely gives away anything about her romantic journeys, with most of what fans know coming from gossip rather than anything she’s confirmed herself.
So, are Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter actually dating? The answer is a definite no unless we can get some solid proof. They share a close friendship and the latest collaboration is obviously sparking dating rumors, but it’s all speculation at this point. What can be confirmed, however, is their mutual respect and admiration for one another, which has only strengthened their bond with each interaction. Whether they’re teaming up on a project or cheering each other on behind the scenes, their delightful friendship is something fans can’t get enough of.
Who Are Jenna Ortega and Sabrina Carpenter Dating in 2024?
The ‘Wednesday’ star Jenna Ortega appears to be single, sharing her priority of work over relationships in interviews. But that has not stopped people from speculating about her dating life in recent years. Her rumored ex-boyfriends include names like Jacob Sartorius, Asher Angel, and her Netflix co-star Percy Hynes White. However, none of these speculated romances were confirmed by Jenna. In March 2023, she was rumored to be seeing NBA star Devin Booker, but the photos fueling speculation were found to be edited, and the reports were quickly debunked.
Sabrina Carpenter, meanwhile, has had a number of high-profile relationships. She is currently dating actor Barry Keoghan since 2023. Previously, she was rumored to be dating Shawn Mendes in early 2023, but the duo denied it. Back in 2021, she was romantically linked to Dylan O’Brien, despite their insistence on maintaining privacy. From 2020 to 2021, she was believed to be in a relationship with Joshua Bassett, sparking a love triangle with Olivia Rodrigo.
The ‘Espresso’ hitmaker reportedly dated Griffin Gluck from 2019 to 2020. In her early years of fame, she had her first public relationship with Bradley Steven Perry from 2014 to 2015.
Did Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan Break Up?
Rumors of a split between Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan caught attention after an anonymous source claimed the two had broken up, with some describing their relationship as “on and off.” However, neither of them has directly addressed the rumors. Instead, the couple has subtly suggested they might still be together, with Barry liking Sabrina’s recent Instagram post and Sabrina updating the thumbnail of her “Please Please Please” music video to feature Barry more prominently. Fans seem to think this is a sign that the couple is still together.
These hints, however, did not change the stance of the gossip blog Deuxmoi. They actually doubled down on the parting rumors, insisting Sabrina has most likely ended things with Barry, especially with her upcoming tour. The fact that they’re sticking to their guns is making several fans unsure about what exactly is going on.
